Why would citizens subscribe to the municipal broadband services instead of using private providers?
Subscribers to the municipal broadband services will have the assurance that the subscription rates will be the lowest possible, and their data capabilities will be able to keep up with the newest technology for many years to come. Administration of the system would be community-focused, with a citizens committee to determine channel offerings, so subscribers to the system could address their programming concerns directly to the board that makes the decisions. Residents who work from home and local businesses would have the latest technology available to them for the best quality and fastest downloads, streaming video, and real-time video conferencing. A municipal broadband utility would also provide the same personalized, efficient services residents currently enjoy with their electric, sewer and water service.
